Too much volume for the roads? These roads downtown are empty almost the entire day. We have a 5 lane one-way on Main, parallel to a 3-5 lane one way on King, parallel plus a couple blocks to a 2-4 lane one-way on Cannon, the SAME DIRECTION as the major one-way road it's parallel to.

And jay-walking has nothing to do with it. My Mother's been hit, while using a crosswalk on a green light, by a car rolling through a red light, and I've been hit and injured before by a car in the same situation.

I was also recently hit, much harder, by another vehicle, as I was crossing Charlton, in a crosswalk, with a walk signal, by a car trying to beat myself and another pedestrian through the intersection. The roads are unsafe for a million reasons more than jaywalking.
